Support for all users of computer hardware, software, and networks is crucial for full realization of the value that these digital intelligence amplifiers can offer a scholarly community. Bloated
applications, opaque user ...

For the last decade, University Information Technology Services (UITS) at Indiana
University has measured the satisfaction of its customers – students, faculty, and staff – with the
IT services its members produced for ...

An online help system can be part of an excellent computing support environment, but cannot by itself be an excellent computing support environment. In an ideal world, everyone would look at online help systems first when ...

Digital instruments and simulations are creating an ever-increasing amount of data. The need for institutions to acquire these data and transfer them for analysis, visualization, and archiving is growing as well. In parallel, ...

Petascale computing is currently a common topic of discussion in the high performance computing community. Biological applications, particularly protein folding, are often given as examples of the need for petascale ...

Many faculty members at small to mid-size colleges and universities do important, high quality research that requires significant storage. In many cases, such storage requirements are difficult to meet with local resources; ...

TeraGrid is a national-scale computational science facility supported through a partnership among thirteen institutions, with funding from the US Na- tional Science Foundation [1]. Initially created through a Major Research ...

Abstract—Parallel geofe, a parallel, three-dimensional finite element paleohydrologic modeling program, was developed based on
the serial code, with the aim to simulate ground water flow on the Atlantic continental shelf ...

UltraScan Solution Modeler (US-SOMO) processes atomic and lower-resolution bead model representations of biological and other macromolecules to compute various hydrodynamic parameters, such as the sedimentation and diffusion ...

Cyberinfrastructure is a word commonly used but lacking a single, precise definition. One recognizes intuitively the analogy with infrastructure, and the use of cyber to refer to thinking or computing – but what exactly ...

Today’s scientific applications demand computational resources that can be provided only by parallel clusters of computers. Storage subsystems have responded to the increased demand for high-throughput disk access by moving ...
